A former BBC radio producer arrested as part of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse investigation has “vehemently denied” historical allegations put to him by detectives.

Ted Beston was arrested by officers from Scotland Yard’s Operation Yewtree on Wednesday morning on suspicion of sexual offences involving “Savile and others”. He was released on bail until February.

His lawyers said yesterday: “Mr Beston vehemently denies the historic allegations put to him by the police. When the Savile story surfaced in October, Mr Beston made clear then that he was shocked by the allegations.
